Description: London: J. S. Hodson & Son..., 1863.

A fine copy. Abrahall (1829 - 1891) published several books, which attracted appreciative reviews, some of which are quoted in the last four pages of this volume. The story is quite different from that of Handel's Rinaldo (1711). Slightly uncommon in libraries, with copies in BL, Bodleian, Cambridge, NLS; and Southern Methodist University.
